Thomas Frank has spoken out ahead of the Tottenham clash against Fulham on Saturday.

Tottenham are set to host Fulham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a return to Premier League action after mid-week on the continent.

The Lilywhites faced off in the Champions League on Wednesday as Tottenham fell to defeat against PSG away at the Parc Des Princes.

Archie Gray was superb against PSG and staked a claim for his place in the Spurs side ahead of a London derby clash against the Cottagers.

Frank has now taken up media duties in N17 and has revealed the state of his squad before meeting Marco Silva in the dugout on 29 November.

Tottenham team news emerges ahead of Fulham clash

Silva has been linked to Tottenham in the past, but will now bring his side from Craven Cottage across the capital for a North London match-up.

There may be concern from the Portuguese head coach after watching the Lilywhites in mid-week, despite falling to defeat against the Champions League title holders.

Spurs showcased moments of true quality away to PSG and will class themselves as unfortunate to have lost 5-3 in the French capital.

The Premier League will now take priority once again, with the 4-1 defeat against Arsenal still a source of huge frustration in N17.

The performance at PSG has provided reason for optimism, but a win must mark a return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Things may not be so straightforward for Frank after he confirmed the injury latest from North London, ready for the Fulham clash.

He said: “Nothing changed from the Arsenal and PSG games – obviously suspension to Cuti [Romero]. Radu [Dragusin] is not able to start yet, but he’s progressing in training.

“Yeah, he [Kolo Muani] will be fit enough to start against Fulham. I think he performed well, his best performance so far. That’s the challenge we’re embracing, three days between games, how can we find the perfect balance between games in energy, intensity, the right structure on the pitch.“

Tottenham must kickstart home form vs Fulham

The Lilywhites have been so poor at home this season and really need something to change moving deeper into the season.

Spurs haven’t secured a Premier League win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since the opening day of the season. A 3-0 win over Burnley.

Goals from Richarlison and Brennan Johnson dispatched the Clarets, but three points haven’t been secured in N17 since.

Going over 100 days without a home win is far from acceptable, and Frank needs to change it quickly.

The Dane may not get a better chance than against Fulham, even after they secured a victory over Sunderland last time around.
